For anyone who has moved to a new city and is trying to makes ends meet, this book is a reminder. 'It is the white-hot reaction of a sensitive, observant compassionate young man to poverty, injustice and the callousness of the rich,' writes Dervla Murphy, introducing Orwell's record of a period in the late Twenties when he lived among the tramps, dregs and plongeurs of London and Paris. 'It offers insights rather than solutions; but always insights have to preceded solutions...No one has ever claimed Down and Out is its author's best book, yet many of his admirers describe it as their favourite Orwell. Its flaws are numerous, but oddly endearing.'
